Gaia
Modulares Telefon für ein achtsames, ablenkungsfreies Leben
Gaia ist ein modulares, minimalistisches Mobiltelefon für Nutzer, die eine digitale Entgiftung suchen und sich ausschließlich auf Kommunikation konzentrieren möchten. Das modulare Design ermöglicht es den Nutzern, Funktionen anzupassen, ohne das gesamte Telefon ersetzen zu müssen. Nachhaltigkeit wird durch reduzierte Hardware, ein energieeffizientes E-Ink-Display, eine längere Lebensdauer und die Verwendung von recycelbaren Materialien wie Aluminium und PLA erreicht.

Lauren Byrne
Hello, my name is Lauren, and I am currently a final year Design for Industry student at Northumbria University in Newcastle. As a design student, I’m passionate about finding solutions that offer multifunctionality while also being aesthetically pleasing. I enjoy the design process, particularly the creation of digital and software models using SolidWorks and Keyshot. To me, the most fulfilling design projects are those that significantly impact the user, delivering value that goes beyond the
original function.
